Wireless network connects only at 11Mbps

pixeldude — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 16:30:18 GMT

Hi,

I have 2 laptops one VAIO K215Z with Wirelss 54Mbps and another VAIO B1XP with wireless 54Mbps and it connects peer to peer only at 11Mbps,.. i changed the connection to 802.11g (54) but they still connect to 11mbs.. does anyone knows what to do..?
K215Z wireless is LAN-Express AS IEEE 802.11g miniPCI Adapter
B1XP wireless is INTEL PRO 2200 IEEE 802.11b/g

i never used an acces point to test them.. though in peer to peer they connect only at 11mb...

Thank you,
All the very best for all.

?? strange

Both Laptops supports B and G standard. I think the connection runs still with 802.11b. Maybe you must reconfigure the connection. There should be an option where you change between b/g , b, g standard. Set them to g, then is the support for b standard deactivatet. No idea. Windows can be really strange.

I did that from the Configure at the wireless card and when i change to g for the B1XP laptop it doesnt want to connect .. very strange..
the other laptop the K215z its allready set as g..

Mmmh, I would download the newest driver from Intel, not from VAIO-Link, LOL. click me

Deinstall the driver on your B1. Delete them in the folder C:\drivers. Restart and install the driver from the Intelsite. It seems that the g-standard on your B1 not works.:smileyconfused:

That's easy. Rightclick on the ".inf" file and then click "install".

Is the file Ziped?

decompress the folder with SonyNC.
open the folder > rightclick on SonyNC.inf and then install. The same with the other files.

That has worked for me.:smileyconfused:

It should work:smileysad:

Sorry I have no idea. But, maybe I shoul say that there is no response.

If you click install, then Windows should install it, but you wouldn't recognize it. Unless, sometimes opens the DOS-box for a short time. But is rare. It should work.

I have installed my Windows from a self-burnd Windows CD (click me )

it works fine for me:smileyconfused:

If it would work then at the next restart my SONY NOTEBOOK SETUP should be in ALL PROGRAMS and that its not happeing.. anyways..
I fixed that by downloading the preinstalled drivers
the problem now is that i installed the drivers from INTEL for the WIRELESS CARD and i have the same problem
maybe are the drivers from the K21Z AS IEEE 802.11g
but i cant find any on internet... and i dont know whats the problem.. are those 2 wireless cards incompatible?

Re: Wireless network connects only at 11Mbps

seb21__ — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 20:03:36 GMT

That would be a real crap, if Sone have had manipulate this part of hardware too. The cards can't be incompatible, the IEEE 802.11 b and a are standards.

I think more and more that Sony has fuckoptimized the driver. That would explain why the original driver not works. here is the download site from Intel again. http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Support_Intel.aspx

Or it's an hardware fault. But why should the b standard work, but the g standard not?

I dont know this drives me mad.. it should work..i tried all the options from the driver... and still nada.. when i choose 802.11g it doesnt connect ..

pixeldude — Sat, 02 Jul 2005 20:12:47 GMT

You should set it too WPA (not wpa-psk). That works only with g standard.
WEP works with the b-standard too. Maybe this helps.:smileyconfused:
